Elizabeth's guest this week is Senator Katy Gallager, Senator for the ACT, Shadow Minister for Finance, Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate, and Chair of the Select Committee on Covid19. In a wide-ranging discussion they talk about the work of the Select Committee in scrutinizing the Government approach to Covid19; the need for substance over spin; how poor decisions hurt people; the as yet unknown shape of the recovery and what needs to be done moving forwards. Katy is positive about our capacity to recover from the pandemic if we see it as an opportunity to fix some long-standing problems and make the economy work better for all Australians.
Elizabeth's guest this week is Scott Malcolm, Owner, and Director of Money Mechanics, a team of specialist financial life planners, who provide tailored solutions based on educating and empowering clients to match financial planning with their overall life goals. He discusses how the impact of Covid19 on people’s life goals is ongoing with no endpoint yet; redundancies in the education and airline industries; the importance of being emotionally ready for retirement; how to put a decision-making framework around your money and where new investment opportunities are beginning to emerge.
The tables are turned this week and Elizabeth becomes the interviewee in this Looking Under the Hood podcast produced and presented by Scott Malcolm from Money Mechanics. Scott talks to Elizabeth about her early money influences; tips for first homebuyers and her approach to the real estate business which includes gems such as “Surprises are for Birthday Parties not Property Transactions”
Louise Staley, Victorian Shadow Treasurer, Shadow Minister for Economic Development, and Liberal Member for Ripon returns to the program to share with Elizabeth her views on what the Victorian economy needs post Covid19 and the likely economic impact of the federal budget. For Louise the path forward needs to provide hope for every Victorian that things will improve; an acknowledgment of the mistakes that have been made and recognition of the lessons learned.
Regular guests Cate Bakos, Independent Property Buyers Advocate, and Hayley Mitchell Director, Geelong Property Management are back to talk about the current post lockdown situation for renters, buyers, and sellers and what is likely to happen in 2021. Spoiler: everyone is going to be busy!!!
For our last show of the year Elizabeth talks with regular guest Nicki Hutley, Partner at Deloitte Access Economics and, recently appointed member of the Climate Council, about her passion for using ‘the dark arts’ of econometrics to help people understand how a proactive approach to climate change makes good economic sense. Nicki also summarises the resilience of the Australian economy during the 2020 pandemic and how that puts us in a good place to enjoy some economic sunshine in 2021.
